TELEHEALTH.

Sandringham Sports Physio is excited to offer a new service to our clientele in the form of Telehealth. We are still open and continue to operate under our ‘No Risk’ Policy which includes rigorous screening including temperature screening, meticulous hygiene and a modified set up to keep patient numbers in our waiting room down to a minimum.

WHAT IS TELEHEALTH?

Telehealth is a well-established way of assessing and treating patients online without the need for them to drive to the clinic. It has been around for many years and has been shown to be very effective at helping clients achieve positive outcomes.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Once you fill in a form, we will contact you to organise the next step. This involves payment and scheduling an online meeting.

Your phone, or

A laptop with inbuilt camera, or

A desktop computer with a webcam
